This was my 2nd NCL cruise and probably my last. I was part of a wedding that took place on the ship, before it left port. Norwegian couldn't have possibly have screwed this wedding up any more than they already did. The party company, complete thumbs down. The staff, bigger thumbs down. The way NCL handled themselves... not my story to tell, but boy, they really messed things up. BAD.

When my boyfriend and I arrived at our room, everything was done up nice and neat. I opened the fridge and found an open can of ginger ale. Shortly after, we went to the front desk to mention this to them, because I sure wasn't getting charged a pint of blood for a can of soda I didn't drink. I also had a minor incident in the room that required housekeeping to tend to the issue. Housekeeping didn't really tend to the issue like I had hoped. Housekeeping, by the way, never mentioned that they locked the balcony doors after they clean your room. So if you can't open your balcony door- look up. It's been locked. OH! And we never met our Housekeeping Steward either.

Dan "The Man" as a cruise director? Is he for real? I had more visual interaction with Sinan from the Gem and he made more of an appearance with the people sailing! And he was personable and had an awesome sense of humor. Dan "The Man"? Seriously? Dude... get a new shtick, because you're certainly not "The Man". I wouldn't have recognized him from a hole in the wall - that's how well he made himself known.
